Wolverhampton Wanderers skipper Conor Coady has praised the 'bravery, courage and character' of Raul Jimenez as the striker netted his first goal since returning from serious skull injury.
The Mexican fractured his skull 10 months ago and only returned to the field this season, netting his first goal since his comeback in the 1-0 win over Southampton on Sunday.
When asked how big that goal at St Mary's was for the striker, Coady said:
"Incredible. The bravery, courage and character he's shown to come back.
"We believe in Raul every single day. He's an incredible footballer and it's a pleasure to work with him every single day because of what he brings – his attitude.
"He brings that to training. How to work, how to get better and how to make us all better as a club.
"We can all come together and say we're so, so proud of him, but that is like Raul all over again. What a goal it was and it deserved to win any game."
Wolves captain also believes scoring his first goal this season will be a boost for his confidence going forward.
Coady added: "Without a doubt, scoring a goal makes you feel on top of the world. It makes us feel on top of the world!
"We're a very close-knit group and have all been through what he's been through with him for the last 10 months.
"It's a massive moment for him and for all of us. We're proud to work with him and the journey he's been on to get to this point.
"But what a goal it was, it was absolutely incredible. It's something Raul has brought to Wolverhampton Wanderers over these years."
